Jasmine started packing, she still had stuff to take over to Dimitri's ship..she didn't want to bother Phoebus with any of the details as she knew that he was worried about the Princess. She could understand and respect his decision to look for the Princess, but she felt like she was coming up behind...there had been rumors of a relationship between Phoebus and the Princess. Rumors that she had told herself weren't true, but as the days went by without a sign of Phoebus she knew that maybe he really had loved the Princess. She sighed and finished packing up the suitcase and looked around to see if there was anything that she was missing, her eyes landed on a necklace that Phoebus had gotten her for her birthday that rested on the mantelpiece. She stepped closer towards the mantelpiece and ran a finger along the side of it, her expression becoming downcast as she recalled that day when he had given that necklace to her. Phoebus needed time to find the Princess and discover what his feelings were for her, if he loved the Princess then Jasmine loved him enough to let him go....he deserved that much.

Phoebus opened the door to Jasmine's home, his body stumbling through the doorway as he removed his cloak. He was unsure of how long he had been away and exhaustion overtook him. His gaze moved about the room, looking for Jasmine but he didn't see her. It had been so long since he had seen her and when he did, he was so distracted that she may as well have been invisible to him. He ran a hand through his hair as he moved about the house looking for her. Phoebus made his way into the bedroom, stopping the doorway when he saw her moving throughout the room. "Hey...long time so see-" His words cut off once he noticed the suitcase on the bed and he looked at her with a confused look in his eyes. "Jasmine...what's going on?" He moved into the room and stood beside the bed where her suitcase was spread out and noticed how most of her things were already loaded inside. After a moment, his gaze moved over towards where she stood by the mantelpiece. He had a feeling of what was going on but he didn't want to believe it. She couldn't be leaving..Not after everything they had been through together.

Jasmine tensed as she heard Phoebus stumble inside, she glanced over at him and wanted to cry...he looked so tired and exhausted. "I'm moving..there's been a few problems here with some idiot who wanted to sell me off so I'm trying to find a new place." She explained, which was partly the truth. "That's not the only reason though...I haven't seen you ever since she disappeared Phoebus. You haven't even so much as looked at me whenever I happen to see you on patrol, I'm worried about you. At this rate you'll kill yourself trying to find her Phoebus, and I don't want to see you get hurt...or worse." Jasmine explained as she turned to face him, his clothes hung on him and he looked like he had been through hell. "I keep worrying that the next time I'll see you is at your own funeral." She admitted as she stepped towards him and gently took his hand.

Phoebus blinked at her words and just as he had been about to ask who that idiot was, she suddenly turned the subject onto him. "Jasmine, this is my job. If I'm not out there looking for her they're going to start questioning my loyalty to the crown." He took a few steps towards her but stopped when she turned to face him. There was no doubt that she had heard the rumors about him and the princess that were spreading through the kingdom but there was nothing going on between them. Yes, he may have some feelings for her but he was in charge of her and now that she was missing, he had to find her. A sigh flew past his lips at her words, looking down at their hands as she took his in hers. "I'm sorry I haven't been around..I just can't lose her. I know you've probably heard the rumors and you know I can't lie to you...We've had our moments, but I swear to you that nothing is going on between Odette and I."

Jasmine sighed at Phoebus's words, "I love you Phoebus...I really do, but I can't lose you. I'll give you some time to figure things out, and when you find her I'll be waiting. I see you working yourself to death...when was the last time you actually had some food? Or slept for that matter? I'm really worried about you, I don't care what people say about you and the Princess but when I haven't seen you for weeks...and it has been weeks, I get really worried. You know I support you, but I can't stand seeing you like this." Jasmine said and gestured at him with a worried frown. "At least take some time off, maybe sleep once in awhile? Just don't neglect yourself, please." She whispered as she leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.

Phoebus looked down at himself when she gestured to him. She was right..he had been neglecting himself while he searched for Odette. He couldn't even remember the last time he had slept, much less even had a decent meal and his body was starting to show it. Ever since she had disappeared, he spent every spare moment out looking for her. His eyes widened when she mentioned how long it had been, his hand running through his hair. Had it really been that long already? He almost didn't register it when she moved up to him, kissing his cheek. His hand grabbed hers when she turned away and pulled her back towards him, running his hand through her hair. "Jasmine..please don't leave. If you go...I don't know that I'll ever be able to escape this job..."

Jasmine stared at him as he pulled her back towards him, "Phoebus...I want to stay but if I do, I don't think I can stand it. You look so emaciated...and tired, and I have a feeling even if I stayed I still wouldn't see you." She said gently as she lightly squeezed his hands. "Promise me, you'll take a break Phoebus. I don't care if it's only for a day...you need it." She whispered as she stared up at him. "I'll always be here for you, but I can't stand back and let you destroy yourself on some reckless mission. The price is getting to be too high." She said quietly as she stared up at him, hoping that he could tell how serious she was being.

Phoebus lowered his gaze at her words. She was right...she was always right. His duties were taking over him, they always have. It was how he was raised. Phoebus had always grown up thinking that work was everything, that's what his father had taught him and it was the only thing that he knew. After a moment, he sighed and nodded. "You're right..I'm sorry Jasmine. Just...just promise me that you'll come back. I can't lose you from my life." He leaned down and pressed his lips against hers, taking in her taste. His hands moved down to her waist, gripping her against him in desperation. If he lost her too, Phoebus would have nothing left.
